This cache was hidden on Father's Day while hiking with my son in Pence Park. This Denver Mountain Park is located between Indian Hills and Kittredge. The cache is part of the One Degree of Separation Geocaching Project. This is a seed that came from: "Mondo's One Degree of Separation (SETexas)" by mondou2 (Waypoint: GCWD6C)
This project was launched to unite the entire geocaching continuum together at one point using the "Small World Theory" as it pertains to geocaching.
If even half of the nearly 13,000 caches originally released on 5/26/2006 get placed as a geocache, no geocacher in the entire world (with even 1 find) should be able to go much beyond 3 degrees of separation from every other geocacher in the world, but the REAL object of this project is to bring that number down to 1 degree for as many geocachers as possible.
One Degree of Separation is a project that has been taking shape and GROWING for nearly 3 years. It's a variation of the "Small World" concept that was proposed in the early 20th century. Many people are familiar with the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game, but few know just how far back the idea goes.

Many other goals will be posted as the project grows, but here are a few.
#1 To have an active ODS cache hidden on ALL 7 continents.
#2 To have an ODS cache hidden in all 50 states.
#3 To have an ODS cache hidden in a number of foriegn countries, by milestone, 10 countries at a time. First milestone 10 then 20 and so on.
#4 To have an ODS cache hidden in every county in Texas.
More goals will be posted on the ODS website....
Thank you for participating in what is sure to be a noteworthy point in geocaching history.
The cache is about a half mile from the trailhead. The elevation gain is moderate and the trail is clearly established. The trail could get icy/snow-covered during the winter, but the cache should be available in almost all weather. PLEASE do not create social trails in the area. If you haven't logged it already, you might want to find my "Lichen It A Lot" cache (GCKGKQ) along this same trail. Happy caching...
